Christmastide In Africa Described In Missionary Letters To Father Hynes The beat of native tom-toms and the howling of jungle beasts were the only Christmas carols heard by brothers Oswin, Colman, Norbert and Camillus of New Oreans as they celebrated Yule festivities as missionaries in darkest Africa on Christmas day. The brothers had a dinner of guinea hens instead of turkeys and played Santa Claus to a large group of natives to whom they have been teaching the story of the coming of Christ. For two years now the four young men, brothers of the Sacred Heart Order of New Orleans, have been in Africa. They received the blessing of Archbishop Shaw at the church of the Holy Name of Jesus on the Loyola campus on the eve of their departure. Brother Camillus is a former members of the faculty at St. Aloysius college in New Orleans and student of Loyola university. News of the missionaries occasionally reaches the Rev. John W. Hynes, S. J., president of Loyola, who has kept up correspondence with Brother Camillus. The most recent letter to reach here told of the pleasure of the brothers in receiving the visit of an English priest and three brothers from Holland. "It is not often that the pleasure of seeing a white man is experienced here in darkest Africa," write Brother Camillus. "There are none here outside of ourselves and the three English officers." Even to darkest Africa the plague of examinations follows the student, for Brother Camillus speaks of their preparing the natives for the "state examinations." He says: "There is more red tape attached to these examinations than to those given i l civilized countries. The course of studies is absolutely absurd for these natives. The examination in history last year would 'stuinp' a university student." He also tells of a queer experience, caused by a pet monkey. The monkey was suffering from a sore leg and one night it escaped from its cage. Wandering to the attic, it began to cry. The sounds coming down to brothers were almost human and they fancied that the monkey was calling them by name. They searched for the origin of the sound for some time, but without success. "We were quite shaken up," says Brother Camillus, "and it was only after we discovered the monkey that we were able to retire in peace." SCENES OF AFRICAN COLLEGE LIFE (Courtesy of the Item-Tribune) The four in the white cassocks are BROTHERS CAMILLUS, NORBERT, OSWIN and COLMAN of the Order of the Sacreti Heart of New Orleans. For the past two years they have been missionaries in Africa. The Negroes sh»wn in the group are converts to the faith. The other picture is an altar which the brothers constructed in one of their mission chapels, 15 miles from Galu. It is a rude boarding supported by sticks and placed against a mud wall on which the natives have drawn fantastic designs. The photographs were taken by the brothers and forwarded to the Rev. John W. Hynes, S. J., president of Loyola University in New Orleans. FATHER BURKE REOPENS LECTURE Philosophy Head Comments On the Dole System Declaring that as bad as the dole system is, it is the best and most effective remedy for the immediate recovery of the nation, providing the capitalists fail to increase employment and wages, the Rev. Martin Burke, S. J., head of Loyola's philosophy department, resumed his series of philosophy forums in Marquette Hall Sunday night. "Unfortunatey, we haven't merely those who would like to work and cannot find a position," Father Burke told his audience at Loyola, "but we also have those who are too lazy to work. This giving to the lazy would be the evil of the dole system. However, if no other system to relieve human misery presents itself, justice demands that we forget about the name and perform the deed. A better method, however, would be to throw open public works, build bridges, etc., and give laborers a living wage." Father Burke will continue his discussion on the economic situation next Sunday at seven p. m. Selections were played by the College of Music symphony orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Ernest E. Schuyten, dean of music. Arthur Sharon was master of ceremonies.ALL MOURN "JOE COLLEGE"!
